After an hour and a half discussion at the headquarters of the Miners' Federation this afternoon, Mr. Hodges said the conference between the oficials of the Federation and the Premier would be renewed to-morrow morning.

Anyway, the strike is likely to last through the week, for even when an agreement is reached a fresh ballot is now declared to be necessary.
